Restoration Forest Products has begun production at its new lumber mill in Bellemont, Az.—described as “the largest sawmill in the Southwest.” A ribbon cutting was held Oct. 8.

The $120-million facility will create 170 jobs, with the capacity to process 120 million bd. ft. of lumber annually. Aimed at reducing wildfires, it will help thin about 28,000 acres of forests annually in the Coconino, Kaibab, Tonto and Apache-Sitgreaves national forests.
